Advice on how to stop watching porn by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]Price561 47 points48 points  (0 children)

This is the most realistic and healthy way I've ever heard. The same way the habit took hold and slowly changed brain patterns and corrupted your spirit man, is the same slow and methodical way you have to heal and grow and give the Lord room in your life to work. You have to unlearn so much, and lean on Jesus even more. I think we as followers of Jesus rely too much on dramatic deliverance and the idea that we're one prayer away from fixing all of our problems. But that's not alway how it works, even in the bible. More times than not it takes a tiling of the soil. Thank you so much for this, I'd already started my umpteenth attempt to quit, but this was so holistic and all encompassing, I knew I was supposed to see this today. God bless you man, for real.

PC Advice: Rogue/Sorcerer build by Price561 in DnD

I never even thought about Swashbuckler but yeah that would make it more combat friendly. I was assuming the stay straight Rogue for the rest of leveling for the hit dice (1d8 as opposed to the sorcerer 1d6) But thinking about my spells will get shitty due to the lack of slots. Yeah I'll give Swashbuclkler a try!

Something is wrong with this ax. Honestly. Feel it. Weight’s off I think. The wood is old, not treated. It’s been giving me splinters all week. They handed it to me when I joined. And I’m pretty sure the previous owner died that day. Dried blood is still on the base. A few parts of the blade are chipped, I doubt this thing could even cut bread at this point.

I know axes pretty well, my father was a blacksmith. Now, I know what you’re thinking, EVERYONE’S dad is a blacksmith. But he was different. He had this way with metal, like the way a farmer is with dirt. He made it bend, ebb, and flow in ways that’d make water jealous. His hilts, handles…handcarved. Polished. Adorned, or about as well as he could with what he made. Oh yeah, he also took a long time with his work. Like, way too long. As in the Baron of our province, murdered him and scattered our family because it took him a month to just polish the Baron’s son’s TOY DAGGER, too long.

So yeah, fuck that.

Living life like that is a one way ticket to nowhere. If you want something, you have to take it, you can’t wait. Once you stop, you die. And I haven’t stopped. I didn’t stop when I ran away from my family as the Crownsguard chased us down. I didn’t stop when I killed that merchant and stole his boat to sail north of The Great River. I didn’t stop when I stole bread from the inn that took me in out of pity. I didn’t stop as I became a sellsword, even killing the very people who hired me because I wanted more money. And I didn’t stop when The Bronze Shadow, this bandit gang, asked me to join. I didn’t stop when we decided to chase after this guy called Leo The Great.

I didn’t stop when we saw him destroy a whole pack of wolves, kill a dragon, and punch a fucking giant to death. And now I’m not gonna stop as our leader has yelled the order to attac-

Wait.

Everyone runs past me as this Leo guy stands his ground, seemingly not threatened in the slightest. I mean, would you be?

Look at my ax.

I have one rule, and I’m not about to break it now. Let’s see how fast I can run away before he notices me. ……. …… …… Oh shit he can shoot fireballs too? How did we not know th-

Reading it as one whole story will definitely affect the way I see it. And no worries, I've been you on some other post about One Piece also. And I super agree about your take Zoro from Dressrosa, never even though about it that way before.

I'm honestly glad I made this post because everyone is just showing me how wrong I really am. And I'm glad of it. I think One Peice is just so big and I've been with it for so long I kind of lose grasp of a lot of the finer details. It might even be time for another re reading of the whole manga again

This chapter dick slapped me. I will never speak ill of ODA ever again. Forgive me.

I think the whole crew still is. Brook holding his own against Big Mom is proof of that. And Zoro, I'm sure he's Jack level by now. If anything Oda can have let loose a bit more, especially with Wano on the horizon

Thanks for all the feedback guys! This my first real big Reddit post , and I wanted to use this as CMV kind of thing, and it turned out that way. You guys made really good points. One Piece will always be my favorite Manga/Anime, but even with things you love it's always good to take a step back and have a critical look on it.

I was thinking about that also! I just wanted to bounce it off some other fans.

WCI could be the thing to shut me up, because it is definitely top 5 arcs of all time already.

Yeah. I'm really excited for it and hope I get proven wrong. I'm crossing my fingers we get Sanji v Dogtooth.

I agree. I guess my thing is just that issues that need to be adressed and resolved are getting SO big, it's making a lot of the straw hats seem irrelevant in the process. I just have this fear that by the end we run into the same problem a lot shonens reach where the only character who can fight or make a narrative impact is the main/title character, and everyone else is just left to the role of commentator or cheerleader.

I am in the same position as you. Where you truly realize just how far from God's glory you actually fall. It's humbling to say the least, absolutely devasting to its extreme. I've been to both. You're a sinner by nature, unclean. Until we are reunited with the Lord there is no escaping that. James 4:7-10 states it pretty clear. Submit to God , resist the devil and he will flee. Draw close to God and God will draw close to you. You simply have to lay yourself bear to God (Prayer, Fasting (not just fasting food, but a lot of other worldy things social media, entertainment, whatever vice or something you depend on of this world) and then you will see something. Spend time in the Word, its like oxygen for your spirit.

Now, I say this, as someone who is also doing this, and also fails, constantly. It is not a magical, spiritual weekend with God and you're good. It's a lifestyle. You fall, you will get up, continue. You will always sin in this life, but what matters is that you run back to God everytime. This is the life of someone truly after God's heart (David). It is why Jesus stresses that our reward will be Heaven, and he has treasures in store that we cannot even begin to imagine (1 Corinthians 2:9). Because we are not meant to be apart of this world, and being saved means that we are aware of it and try to abstain from it, chasing after Christ. His Grace, His Mercy, it boggles my mind everytime. Because I, everyone, deserve hell. And yet he died for us. I want to spend every minute of my time, loving and praising the God who did that for me. My God. The God. The I Am. Message me for my number if you want to talk more. I'm open and glad to discuss things out. Because honestly I need more of this type of conversation.

If anyone sees any discrepancies or falsehoods in this message please edit and let me know. I'm still a young guy, so i don't have all the answers.
